Hi Dan & Alex,
I have heard from several different people that the petitions that people sign on the internet are not legal or usable. For a petition to be useable it must have a hand written signature and a large number to be accepted. They have said that what usually happens with on line petitions is that your email address ends up in the hands of solicitors, and spammers or even worse. Perhaps this is wrong, but I have heard this from quite a few different people over the last several years. I commend everyone for attempting to get accomplished what our elected officials can't be bothered with, but unfortunately the lobbyists offer way too much money and other things that highly override their need to help the people who voted them in. I have a favorite saying and I will continue to use it until a politician proves me wrong "Show me a politician and you have just shown me a crook". No one spends millions of dollars on a campaign to win a job that pays $100,000 or less a year. Sorry didn't mean to go on that long, just my two cents and that's probably all it is worth.

Drilling for American Oil on or near America would create more jobs, lower the cost of getting the oil to the refinery, greatly reduce the income of our enemies, (Hugo Chavez, etc). AND Lower the cost of gas/diesel at the pump. It would also kill the ethanol and soydiesel programs which, along with the current high cost of transportation, are driving up food prices. This single thing will do more to help the poor than any government program. I signed hope everyone else will too. Thanks Dan.

As gas prices continue to increase, Congress continues to blame others while ignoring practical steps to stop the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. To lower gasoline prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, we need to drill. I encourage all of you to sign and share with your friends. http://www.americansolutions.com/ Godspeed, Dan Solomon "It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry." http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/
